669014-15 Hartke Libretto THE GREATER GOOD or THE PASSION OF BOULE DE SUIF Opera in Two Acts Music by Stephen Hartke Text by the composer from Philip Littell’s dramatic adaptation of Guy de Maupassant’s short story, Boule de Suif CD 1 ACT ONE 1 Scene 1: Rouen, the courtyard of the Hôtel de Normandie, 4 AM on a Tuesday in late February 1871. Snow falls in the darkness. The two nuns have already taken their positions, standing motionless a bit to the left, their small carpetbags at their sides. There is a mound of luggage (trunks, suitcases, hatboxes, hampers) closer to center. The only light comes from a dim gas-lamp flickering by the stable door. TITLE CARD (projected on the cyclorama) At three o-clock Monday afternoon it started snowing. TITLE CARD It kept on snowing through the night. Heavily cloaked and muffled, M. and Mme. Carré- Lamadon quickly and quietly enter and go stand near the mound of luggage. They shiver visibly from the cold. TITLE CARD At four in the morning a group of travelers gathered. The Count and Countess enter, affecting a more courtly pace, but clearly chilled to the bone. The stable door opens a crack and dim light spills out. A stable-boy holding a lantern pokes his head out and checks on the gathering travelers. Cornudet lopes in, carrying his belongings in a small 8.669014-15 The Greater Good P & C 2007 Naxos Rights International Ltd. Page 1 parcel tied up with twine. He pauses a moment by the stable door and takes a swig from his rum gourd. He then moves closer to the mound of luggage but keeps his distance from the others. The Count and Carré-Lamadon suddenly recognize each other. 2 CARRE-LAMADON: Count? COUNT: Old boy! C-L: Well! Loiseau bustles in, pushing his wife along ahead of him. He leaves her on her own with the other ladies. Loiseau spots the other gentlemen and goes to join them. COUNT: Here we are! C-L: I thought it best... the wife... COUNT: I thought so too... LOISEAU: (horning in on the conversation) And you were right, too! Good morning, Count... COUNT: (trying to place him) Ah?... LOISEAU: Loiseau. In the circumstances … Madame Loiseau’s nerves... C-L: (trying to place him) Loiseau. COUNT: Ah, yes. Loiseau... Well... circumstances being what they are … LOISEAU: It’s worth the money, eh? MME CARRÉ-LAMADON: (truly miserable, oblivious of the others.) S-s-so c-c-cold! COUNTESS: (equally miserable and equally oblivious) S-s-so c-c-cold! Loiseau has grabbed his wife’s arm and drags her over to meet the gentlemen.) LOISEAU: May I present my wife? MME CARRÉ-LAMADON: (suddenly recognizing the Countess) My God! COUNTESS (startled) You here? The need to observe polite formalities trumps the discomfort of the cold for a brief moment. COUNT: Madame. C-L: Madame. LOISEAU: Madame... Madame... 8.669014-15 The Greater Good P & C 2007 Naxos Rights International Ltd. Page 2 COUNTESS: (trying very hard) En-ch-ch-ch-chanted. MME C-L: (chilly) Monsieur... ? LOISEAU: Loiseau! My wife. Cornudet raises his flask to the company, making an exaggerated bow to the ladies. CORNUDET: Ladies! MME C-L: (whispering to her husband) Who is that man? C-L: Nobody. The stable door opens. The coachman, accompanied by a small stable-boy with a lantern, comes out leading a “horse.” 3 MME LOISEAU: (grimly)Finally. COACHMAN: (crooning to the ‘horse’, and rough with the boy) I know, I know.... you never want to, girl... Look sharp! Come on! .... Come on, come on, you’re still asleep? Ho ho! Naughty girl... Get a move on! There, there, that’s my love Come on … you still asleep? The men have given up on the ladies, who are too cold to make conversations. Loiseau gestures for the two gents to follow him a little way to one side. Loiseau offers them cigars. 4 LOISEAU: Cigar? Cigar? C-L: Thank you. COUNT: Thank you COACHMAN: (calling to men in the stable) Hey! Jean! Antoine! Bring out the next ones! The new bay and the General. LOISEAU: That’s it for here.... C-L: That’s it. COUNT: That’s it for here! ALL THREE: That’s it! COACHMAN: (harassing the boy) On the left! On the left! (to the stable hands) Don’t just stand there! Helpers have come out of the stable with a few lanterns, which they place, on the ground near where they will be working. They rearrange the pile of luggage to form the “diligence” (a type of large coach 8.669014-15 The Greater Good P & C 2007 Naxos Rights International Ltd. Page 3 that is entered from the rear): two facing bench seats and a smaller, higher one in front for the Coachman. LOISEAU: Le Havre? C-L: Le Havre. COUNT: Le Havre. COACHMAN: (to the boy) You call that tightening a harness? It’s twisted! (to no one in particular) Idiots! The Coachman spots something needing his attention and ignores his helpers for the moment. ALL THREE GENTS: Rouen is finished! Absolutely finished! Finished! Absolutely! Rouen is finished! France is finished! Finished! THE LADIES: So cold! Cold! Cold! COACHMAN: (to a stable hand bringing out another “horse”) Come on! (crooning to the “horse” as he puts it in its “traces”) Are we happy now? Yes, we’re going! We’re going! (suddenly shouting at one of his helpers) No. The other side! Like this! See? THE GENTS: (one after the other) There’s talk! Loiseau gestures for the gents to keep their voices down. 5 LOISEAU: A lonely street or an alley … or a bridge … COUNT: It’s true! C-L: It’s true! COUNT: But where? LOISEAU: Down river at … Croisset, Dieppedalle, Biessart C-L & COUNT: How many bodies? LOISEAU: Two … Two or three a day … COUNT: Oh that’s not good! C-L: In uniform? LOISEAU: Unlucky, eh? C-L: For us? COUNT: For them! 8.669014-15 The Greater Good P & C 2007 Naxos Rights International Ltd. Page 4 LOISEAU: (miming someone teetering on the brink) Unsteady! Unsteady! COUNT: (giving him a shove) Plouf! LOISEAU: You gotta watch your step at night when crossing bridges. COUNT: If you’re German! LOISEAU: Watch your step! Watch your step! Loiseau’s joke falls flat. LADIES: So cold! Cold! Let’s go! Let’s go! Each wife turns to her husband for reassurance and comfort (not necessarily getting any). Meanwhile, the Coachman has re-emerged from the stable leading the last “horse.” COACHMAN: Come on Ice Cream, now behave, I’ve paired you with the General. (to the boy as they put the “horse” in its “traces”) 6 Say! Know why they call her Ice Cream? It’s not because she’s white … She’s no good in the summer: melts! But in the summer she can go! She loves the cold! Don’t you girl? He gives the boy a gentle shove back towards the stable. Get back inside now! You’ll catch your death. Thank you. Jean. Antoine. Suddenly, the Coachman looks at the travelers as if they are nuts. 7 COACHMAN: You can get in if you want. But no one moves just yet. Unless … The travelers make a sudden dash for the coach and start crowding in. Meanwhile, the Coachman stalks back to the stable, muttering to himself/ You’d rather just stand around in this fresh air on this lovely morning… I’m perfectly happy to leave without you … no skin off my back … None at all ... 8.669014-15 The Greater Good P & C 2007 Naxos Rights International Ltd. Page 5 Boarding from the rear of the coach, the Loiseaus pile in first, followed by the Carré-Lamadons, and the Count and Countess. The husbands sit stage right, and the wives sit facing them, stage left. Cornudet pushes in next to the Count, and the two nuns seat themselves on the ladies’ side, the Old Nun next to the Countess. A final passenger, Boule de Suif, has emerged from the hotel, a little slowed by a large food hamper and some extra hatboxes. Perhaps assisted by a stable-boy, Boule quickly takes her place next to Cornudet. She arranges her skirts to hide the hamper. Having returned from the stable, the Coachman takes his seat in front. COACHMAN: Are we all here? LOISEAU: Yes! COACHMAN: (softly) Hyah! 8 Scene 2: Aboard the coach, striking out for the coast. We are aware of great difficulty in going, of skids and slides and halts, of ruts and icy puddles, of hooves slipping and regaining traction, of the whip cracking. Satisfied that he is out of the city and on his way, the coachman starts to sing this song to himself: 9 COACHMAN: There was a boat That couldn’t sail There was a boat That wouldn’t steer A little boat that made no headway In the wind A little boat For you and me A little boat To set to sea A little boat to sink us both Get in It had no captain And no crew No passengers But me and you So little that a sneeze could blow it To and fro Broken rudder. Patched up sail. To bail it out, A leaky pail. Our voyage was a sorry tale: Yo ho! 8.669014-15 The Greater Good P & C 2007 Naxos Rights International Ltd. Page 6 Struck by lightning So we burned Bumped a whale Were overturned Might very well have not returned But for one thing: We never learned To navigate We never learned To navigate We never learned to navigate We never learned Our focus shift to the interior of the “coach.” Having settled in as comfortably as they are able, the three wives have taken out small metal handwarmers, and, perhaps with their husbands’ help, have lit the charcoal fuel rods.

We are told that this is bad. We are told that television is bad for us, that it is bad for our families, and that it is wasting our time. But not all television is that way. Some television shows have what we might call “literary pretensions.” Shows such as Twin Peaks, Homicide: Life on the Street, The Wire, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Veronica Mars, Battlestar Galactica, and LOST have been both critically acclaimed and the subject of much academic study. In this course, we shall examine a select few of these shows, watching complete seasons as if they were self-contained literary texts. In other words, in this course, you will watch TV and get credit for it. You will also learn to view television in an active and critical fashion, paying attention to the standard literary techniques (e.g. character, theme, symbol, plot) as well as televisual issues such as lighting, music, and camerawork. Texts Students will be expected to own, or have access to, the following: Firefly ($18 on amazon.com; free on hulu.com) and Serenity ($4 used on amazon.com) LOST season one ($25 on amazon.com; free on hulu.com or abc.com) Battlestar Galactica season one ($30 on amazon.com) It is in your best interest to buy or borrow these, if only to make it easier for you to go back and re-watch episodes for your assignments.

  • Steph Scott ©2014 Adapting Snow White Today
    Steph Scott ©2014 Adapting Snow White Today: Narrative and Gender Analysis in the Television Show Once Upon a Time Abstract: This paper examines the narrative in the first season of the ABC television show Once Upon a Time (2011-Present) and the fairytale Snow White (1857) with a particular focus on female gender representation. The reappearance of fairytales in popular media provides a unique opportunity to examine how values between two very different time periods have changed. Utilizing a narrative approach allows the research to show the merits and limitations across adapting from an old text to a television serial. Once Upon a Time offers a progressive rendition of the character Snow White by challenging both the traditional narrative and the television serial narrative. Snow White’s relationships with other characters are also expanded upon in the televised tale and surround her heroic acts, rather than her beauty, which changes the values presented in the television series. Methodology: In Once Upon a Time, throughout its narrative progression the traditional narrative is challenged. The first season’s episodes “Snow Falls,” “Heart is a Lonely Hunter,” “7:15AM,” “Heart of Darkness,” “The Stable Boy,” “An Apple Red as Blood,” and “A Land Without Magic” are given particular attention in this analysis because they pertain to Snow White’s fairytale. Robert Stam (2005) describes adaptation narrative analysis as considering “the ways in which adaptations add, eliminate, or condense characters” (p.34). With textual analysis of the first season of Once Upon a Time, these factors can be analyzed through Snow White’s relationships with other characters.

  • Thrift, Sacrifice, and the World War II Bond Campaigns
    Saving for Democracy University Press Scholarship Online Oxford Scholarship Online Thrift and Thriving in America: Capitalism and Moral Order from the Puritans to the Present Joshua Yates and James Davison Hunter Print publication date: 2011 Print ISBN-13: 9780199769063 Published to Oxford Scholarship Online: May 2012 DOI: 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199769063.001.0001 Saving for Democracy Thrift, Sacrifice, and the World War II Bond Campaigns Kiku Adatto DOI:10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199769063.003.0016 Abstract and Keywords This chapter recounts the war bond campaign of the Second World War, illustrating a notion of thrift fully embedded in a social attempt to serve the greater good. Saving money was equated directly with service to the nation and was pitched as a duty of sacrifice to support the war effort. One of the central characteristics of this campaign was that it enabled everyone down to newspaper boys to participate in a society-wide thrift movement. As such, the World War II war bond effort put thrift in the service of democracy, both in the sense that it directly supported the war being fought for democratic ideals and in the sense that it allowed the participation of all sectors in the American war effort. This national ethic of collective thrift for the greater good largely died in the prosperity that followed World War II, and it has not been restored even during subsequent wars in the latter part of the 20th century. Keywords: Second World War, war bonds, thrift, democracy, war effort Page 1 of 56 PRINTED FROM OXFORD SCHOLARSHIP ONLINE (www.oxfordscholarship.com).
